Problems Compiling

[johnh...@buckheadinvestments.com]

I have been trying to compile some of the programs in MLPACK and am
receiving the following problem:

$ fl-build fgt_kde_bin

Can you rebuilt it and send us the message again?

obj /fastlib_base_common.o] Error 127'

Here is the error after rebuilding

Ok
first make sure you have gcc 4 and g++ 4 on your machine
then go to your /bin directory and make a symbolic link  ln -s gcc-4 gcc4
                                                                                  ln -s g++-4 g++4
Also make sure you have installed gfortran
You cannot compile because CYGWIN has gcc4 under the gcc-4 name. We are aware of this issue and we are soon going to publish a fix
Also take a look here
